BEIRUT: Syrian state news agency SANA said on Saturday Syrian air defences were responding to a "new Israeli aggression".
State television stations also said that sounds of explosions believed to be from Israeli attacks were heard in the Damascus countryside.
Syrian anti-aircraft fire shot down an Israeli jet on Saturday, the Israeli military said, after Israel intercepted an Iranian drone launched from Syria and struck an Iranian target there.
